Magical Tomes, Anyone?

My pal Jeremy Tolbert is looking for some help with a supersecret project he’s working on:

I’m working on a little web project that is going to be really fun, but I need titles of magical tomes, both real, historical ones, and invented ones.

Sorry that I am being a bit mysterious, but I want this project to be fun for you too when it’s done and if I tell you about it now, then it won’t be as exciting.
